10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
We had a wonderful stay even though it rained most of the day we had planned on bike on the beach or walk the strand. The back porch seating area was nice so that’s where we spent majority of our time. The downstairs tub is claw foot tub/shower and getting in and out was tricky so would recommend a non-slip mat. Also we did not have anywhere to hang our clothes in the downstairs bedroom. Would recommend hooks on the back of door. Otherwise it was a perfect stay!

Very nice home. Clean and well kept. We felt very comfortable during our stay

The house was very nice as shown in the pictures. Clean, good location. The main floor bedroom had a small full-size mattress which could not accommodate comfortably two sleepers. We had a hard time locating spatulas and cooking tools until we were packing up to go, and they were inside a bottom cupboard that we did not look in. There was only one washcloth in the main bath room, which was inadequate. There were no sponges or washcloths in the kitchen to wipe the counters down or wipe dishes off only a sponge on a wand. Otherwise, it was a nice, comfortable, clean and well decorated home.

We had a wonderful time at this VRBO. It was in a great location. The house was wonderful. I will definitely keep this on my list for future visits.
